For the first time all season, Pat Long and Christina Nielsen paired for a Porsche GTD victory. Despite having qualified on pole before, they couldn't convert that into a Wright Motorsports victory until this Sunday afternoon. As the field of competition fell apart around them throughout the race, Patrick and Christina put in a flawless race that …

This weekend at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, Porsche put in a mighty fight to bring home a much needed podium place finish. Being that the circuit is far smaller and tighter than most of the traditional circuits on the IMSA season schedule, only the GTLM and GTD classes were on hand for the battle, leaving the Prototype class at home. Because of …

For the second weekend in a row, Porsche's IMSA teams did all the right work and had a decently quick car, but couldn't convert that into a proper race-winning effort. After setting the pole lap in qualifying with a new lap record for GTLM cars, and following that up with a long time in the class leading position, Patrick Pilet and Nick Tandy …

On a hot and sunny day in New York State, Porsche drivers went to work in an attempt to tackle six hours of racing against some of the best sports car racers in the world.

Following the end of the 2017 FIA WEC season, Porsche had another Le Mans win and another set of season championships, then they abruptly ended their 919 Hybrid LMP1 program. Following four years of incredible international success, Porsche was back on top again, adding three more Le Mans wins to their tally, and they were happy to cash in before …

Porsche has not had this level of representation in the GT ranks at Le Mans in years. A full grid of ten cars from the German marque will take on the best comers from Ferrari, Ford, BMW, Corvette, and Aston Martin. Without an LMP1 effort to focus on, Porsche have diverted their resources to winning the LM GTE Pro class, with four factory-entered …

It is a good time to be both a Porsche enthusiast and a gamer. A steady stream of Porsche models have been added to nearly every franchise. Beginning with Forza, Porsches have now been added to Project Cars 2, Gran Turismo and iRacing. iRacing's continually updated car list will include the mid-engined 911 RSR beginning June 5th. The car will be …

The opening round of the FIA WEC Super Season took place this Saturday at Spa Francorchamps. Porsche recently dominated Spa by nabbing the outright track record with their 919 Hybrid LMP1 Evo, but that car has retired from a traditional motorsport sense, and will not be participating in the WEC this year. That left just Porsche's GTE Pro and GTE Am …
